Pachyveria

Light affects the shape and colour of these succulents. In a suitable spot, rosettes stay more compact; with too little light, they may stretch and lose definition. They are attractive in small pots or arrangements with plants that have similar needs.

General Pachyveria care

• Light: choose a very bright spot and introduce direct sun gradually. Protect from the strongest sun during extreme heat or while the plant is not yet acclimatised.
• Watering: water when the compost has dried, letting water drain out through the holes. Avoid standing water and adjust the frequency to temperature, airflow and growth.
• Compost: an airy, free-draining mix with mineral materials prevents the roots from staying wet too long.
• Temperature: shelter from frost and prolonged rain. Indoors, keep near a bright window with good airflow.
• Maintenance: avoid rubbing or spraying the leaves to preserve their farina. Remove dry leaves carefully and check the base of the rosette and leaf joints.
